For sale: ObamaCare exemption, $20,000 or best offer

733 Companies, Unions and other Groups with 2,189,636 Workers Now Exempt From Obamacare

If Obamacare is supposed to be such a great thing for America, why are so many companies and various organizations being granted exemptions? Why do so many of those who have sought the exemptions — like unions, for example — just happen to be supporters of Obama and liberal democratic policies? Could it be that liberals just love to make laws for everyone else, love to make everyone else but themselves pay?

I do not know how many companies and groups have applied for exemptions from Obamacare, but the list of entities who have been granted an exemption is growing quickly. A look at the page now shows that, as of December 3, 2010 there were 733 approved exemptions. That’s a total of 2,189,636 American workers that will not suffer the consequences of Obamacare. Keep in mind that the date on this report is two months ago. Who knows what the number is today. You can view the entire list at this website, and perhaps it will be more current by the time you click through to it.

Perhaps John Boehner should change his strategy to repeal Obamacare, and instead just sit back and wait until all of America is exempt. But the problem is the likely outcome would be that only half the country would be exempt — the blue half.

So, how does one obtain an exemption to Obamacare? Is it all based upon the stated criteria, or are there other factors left unwritten? A cynic might conclude there could be some political favors being handed out, when you see the number of unions in the list.

If you browse through the list, you’ll find the names quite interesting. On one hand, there are huge groups like the 19,000 workers belonging to the “Communications Workers of America, Local 1180 Security Benefits Fund.” But on the other hand, there are some small companies like the Sieben Polk Law, a firm of personal injury lawyers in Minnesota, as you see in the screen capture below

Guess that "we care" only goes so far..And of course, the liberals can't impose obama care on other liberals...that won't redistribute any wealth at all...

What a bunch of shit, the caring libs doubled my cost for insurance..guess they don't care if white conservatives have to make the choose between food and medical care, that only extends to liberals and minorities

Welllll....being that you are or will be on government health care, Mongoose, you'll have more of a cadillac plan than we will. A man of principle will give that up. But I'm sure you've "earned" it, while everyone else hasn't.

BD- the second one should be there. Sorry. That's the opinion. I care more about people getting screwed and dying than I do an extra $200 a year for you.

again Bonds... even though there is a pre-existing condition clause, an insurance company could STILL not accept you. they just have to pay $100 a day till they except you.

so just because that's there now doens't mean an insurance wouldn't deny you.$1million for cancer care - how many days could they put you off till you die off (or give up trying with that company). hmmmmmm....

imagine you were a doctor... how would you want to be paid? after how many years of schooling...? afer how many years of being an intern...? after paying HOW much in liability insurance...?think about it.

Ah, but the socialists want it for free. That's how socialism works: spread the wealth. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Rob Peter to pay Paul. You get the picture.

And soon, the socialists will be going to the barber shop to have their appendix removed.

They generally have to "get by" on a couple hundred thousand $ instead of half a million. It would be tough....

There are plenty of professions that go to school for years and years and don't get big $. Some do it for love of the job. If you're only in it to make money, go get an MBA from Michgan. You'll be making BIG money in a few years.

So what would you do if all of a sudden the gov't said you had to do yojur job for pennies on the dollar? Just up and change? After training for almost a decade for that job.... just change? Um yeah...right.

And you would have doctors work for a wage that would not give them a return on 8 years of education. Doctors could probably work for less if they didn't have a 1/4 million dollars a year premiums for malpractice insurance. Or should all physicians be employed by the government and work for a government salary?

Your lack of insights are remarkable. Typical liberal dimwit. No free enterprise and everything must be for the collective good. Right? Go back to hackey land canuck. LOL
